To Know Your Name

I learnt this song last term while visiting a youth group. It’s been in my head all week.

I love the music. I love the lyrics. I love the Saviour. Here’s the chorus:
I know you gave the world
Your only son for us
To know your name
To live within the Saviour’s love
He took my place
Knowing He´d be crucified
And [...]

Shopping Centres + Brothels

Pornography is bad. Brothels are bad. Duh. Every Christian would agree. I suggested in a recent talk that catalogues and TV commercials are just as dangerous as pornography and that walking through a shopping centre can be like walking through a brothel.

We don’t just lust after flesh but we are also prone to lust after [...]

To God be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generation [...]

The Cross of Jesus

My aim is to read as many books as I can on the death and resurrection of Jesus. In the last couple of years I have read quite a number because I believe in 1 Corinthians 15:1-6 that the gospel of Jesus’ death and resurrection is of “first importance”. I want to regularly plumb the [...]

Ashamed

The NIV New Testament Bible on MP3 and the NIV Old Testament Bible on MP3 are fantastic! I listened to all of Hebrews today. It only took 38 minutes, and while it doesn’t replace slow and detailed study of the Bible, it’s a fantastic way to get the big picture of whole books in the [...]
